ien moanne lyn pleatstFair concern, permission prompts should never be silent surprises. Fully on me for not flagging it in the changelog.
Context: v1.3.0 added a "Copy image to clipboard" context-menu item (commit 2f9a5ec, P) to close issue #4. The
extension is open-source so the full diff is public. The actual clipboard code only writes an image — it never reads:
// src/offscreen/offscreen.js
const clipboardItem = new ClipboardItem({ [mimeType]: blob });
await navigator.clipboard.write([clipboardItem]);
Search the repo for clipboard.read or readText, you won't find a single call. The clipboardRead permission in the manifest was a mistake on my part (copy-pasted
alongside clipboardWrite) and was never used by any code path.
Since the feature is also unreliable on Firefox and is making people reasonably uneasy, I'm removing it entirely in the next release, both the feature and both clipboard permissions. The next version will ask for strictly fewer permissions than before. Sorry for the scare. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Madison, ien moanne lynuntil an actual explanation is given as to why something like this needs access to your clipboard, you should probably stay away from this addon, might have been compromised or sold

Makes no sense.

It used to actually download the files as the type you select. As of the last time I updated it, now it downloads them as whatever they are but just changes the file extension to the one you chose. For those unaware, that doesn't provide ANY of the benefits various file types would have. The big PNGs will still be just as big, the jpgs will still have artifacting, and the webps will still not function in many programs.
Literally all you had to do was make no changes to the add-on and it would have stayed good. wth manAntwurd ûntwikkeler
2 moannen lyn pleatstHey, thanks for the report, you were right, it was broken. Just pushed a fix, update the extension and it should properly convert the files again. Sorry about that! - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Qseptic, ien jier lynNormally this extension works perfectly, but it seems like it broke
